Appliance Testing

DMC develops complex appliance test systems for major appliance manufacturers. Such systems typically include data acquisition from many sources simultaneously: thermocouples, power meters, humidity sensors, flow meters, pressure sensors, encoders, and more. Our experience includes development of new facilities and systems as well as retrofitting existing systems.

Our services include:

System integration

PC test system development

Real-time and embedded systems

Data management and results

Test systems developed for ENERGY STAR compliance testing

Reporting services

DMC’s expertise includes many technologies common in appliance test systems, including:

LabVIEW programming for Windows, PXI, and cRIO

SQL Server database development and reporting services

General data acquisition hardware from National Instruments, Measurement Computing, and others

In addition to assisting you in the specification and build, we can also help you aggregate, analyze, and store your data. Having high-quality data that is well stored and accessible lets you execute tests to find defects as quickly as possible and provide that data to your engineering teams. This can benefit your compliance and quality assurance goals and can help you make strategic decisions on future models.

You can also leverage our network of partners for additional test-bench needs, and we are happy to serve as a system integrator to facilitate larger products. Our local partners can assist in custom builds of enclosures and test rigs, electrical and mechanical design, device specification, and testing.
